Removed extra information more relevant to Advent company than personal bio

On June 2 2016, removed extra information about Advent's board structure after the sale that is not really relevant to a personal bio. Its more relevant to Advent company page than this one. Keep the sale information and money he sold for. Here is extra text removed:

The transaction received the full support of the lululemon Board of Directors and changes the board dynamic. Advent Managing Partner David M. Mussafer and Managing Director Steven J. Collins will be appointed to lululemon's Board of Directors, expanding the Board from 10 to 12 members. Mr. Mussafer will now share Chairman responsibilities with Michael Casey. Lululemon will also engage an independent expert to evaluate and make recommendations regarding the lululemon Board's committees, policies and procedures over the course of 90 days following the completion of Advent's stock purchase.

Does including the home value respect WP biography policy?

Chip Wilson's British Columbia home has been evaluated as the most valuable property in the province. This information has been reported in CBC News.

Would adding this information respect Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, more specifically Wikipedia:BLPPRIMARY as it is from a secondary source? LaTerreACotta (talk) 18:44, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Philanthropy"

I do not believe the label of philanthropist or a section on Philanthropy meets the Biography of a Living Person standards of not using a contentious label, loaded language, or imprecise language. What objective standards are used to determine if someone is a Philanthropist? 205.172.134.23 (talk) 19:07, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

please refrain from creating edits similar to this:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/830111128

your attempt to remove cited philanthropy has no basis. please don't remove sourced,

thanks for helping in your own way, That'sHedley (talk) 16:44, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You're missing the sentence right after that in WP:BLPSTYLE, that being "unless a person is commonly described that way in reliable sources". While I agree that parts of that section definitely need to be rewritten to conform to BLPSTYLE, such as the sentence "Imagine1day estimates that over 252,000 lives are transformed annually through its education and training" (this reads like marketing), I don't think simply removing the entire section is the best course of action. After all, there are reliable sources cited in that section that describe Wilson like that (although I did not find one using the term philanthropist specifically). I can't think of anything else to call that section, do you have any suggestion to replace "philanthropist"? AlexChillOut (talk) 15:11, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

good morning fellow editor,

there you go, hood catch.

thanks for being a conscientious editor.

The link for source 38 and 40 appears to be broken and source 39 seems to be a self-published source?

Source 43 is broken.

Source 44 seems not noteworthy, it's just about a website him and his wife started that doesn't appear to be a charity or business of any sorts.

Source 45 makes no mention of Chip Wilson, leaving source 46 the only source of him donating public art, which makes the claim that he does so "frequently" seem inappropriate. Also, is it noteworthy for a biography of a businessperson that he donated public art once?

Source 50 is also about imagine1day, which is already mentioned at the beginning of the section. The source for this mostly focuses on the Accelerator Fund, but when you go to that site it gives a 404 error.

I think given how poorly sourced and irrelevant it is to an article about someone that is only noteworthy because they founded a large and popular company, this section should be removed. 23.125.66.36 (talk) 20:27, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
